Our approach


Literations collaborates with teachers, schools, partners, and districts to provide targeted support to young students (1st-4th grade) who can benefit from 1:1 structured reading practice.


 

Our focus

We focus on three key literacy components that promote reading achievement toward grade-level goals. By strengthening these fundamental skills, students gain a strong literacy framework that is foundational to their success in the classroom and beyond:

  • Fluency

  • Comprehension

  • Vocabulary

Our difference

Through mentoring relationships, Literations coaches drive literacy outcomes.

As a result, students develop social-emotional skills, such as self-awareness, self-management, and relationship skills, while also improving their reading fluency. They learn to build trust with a caring adult.

In their own words

I think that children do very well when they’re seen and recognized and validated in a one on one kind of relationship and something like reading can be very difficult especially if you are a child who might be behind and you don't understand why you're not comprehending things as quickly.”
